Research Data Management

We help research organisations manage and share data to FAIR and open standards, supporting collaboration, reproducibility, and long-term impact.

Research projects generate large, complex datasets that need to be discoverable, shareable, and reusable over time. We work with research organisations to design and implement data management platforms that meet FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) data principles and enable collaboration across disciplines.

Our expertise covers metadata modelling, ontology design, catalogue services, and integration of heterogeneous datasets. We advise on data strategies and governance as well as delivering sustainable, cloud-based services for ongoing data publication.

We have worked with the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology,  The National Archives and AstraZeneca UK on platforms that enable research data to be stored, found, accessed, and reused long after individual projects have ended. By embedding interoperability and openness, we ensure research data continues to create value for science and society.

Common challenges we solve:

  • Data discoverability: research outputs are often buried in PDFs or project silos.
  • Reproducibility challenges: lack of consistent standards and metadata limits reuse.
  • FAIR compliance: researchers need practical ways to implement FAIR.
  • Data lifecycle management projects end but data must be preserved for decades.
  • Heterogeneous datasets: combining data across disciplines, scales, and file types.

Working with Epimorphics

If your organisation is grappling with research data fragmentation, poor discovery, or AI‑readiness of datasets – we can help you design a sustainable, connected research data ecosystem.

Our Mission is to be the trusted partner helping people to structure, link and use data that matters.

Consultancy

We provide expert advice and hands-on support to help organisations make better use of their data. From strategy and governance to standards and semantics, we work closely with clients to design solutions that are practical, scalable, and future-proof.

Platform Services

We design, build and run data platforms that deliver. Our managed services support reliable data publishing, integration and discovery – trusted by public and private sector clients for their resilience, transparency and long-term value.

Specialist Data Technology

We create and license advanced data tools, APIs and components tailored to complex data challenges. Our technology is grounded in linked data and semantic web principles, enabling high-quality, AI-ready data infrastructures. We actively contribute to and support open source projects, and make many of our tools freely available for others to build on.
